Ingredients

• 4 cups mini pretzels
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mini pretzels evenly over the sheet.
2. Make the Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble. Let it simmer without stirring for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the caramel to form.
3. Add Vanilla and Salt: Remove the saucepan from heat, and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Pour the toffee mixture evenly over the pretzels, using a spatula to spread it if needed.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired. Let the pretzels cool completely on the baking sheet.
5. Break into Clusters: Once cooled, gently break the toffee-coated pretzels into bite-sized clusters and enjoy!
